From Famous 500 Lists : Which 10 x 10 Albums Would I....

Among Albums which actually can be found both on NME's list made 2013 and on Rolling Stone's list in its 2020 updated version..

..here you can see how they differ from my personal preferences. Filtered through ten unique questions, which scenarios may clarify my relations to chosen albums. 

 

The Both Big Tops is really fascinating to study, since their positions sometimes differ light years from which I would choose. My judgements may as well tell something about how familiar I am with them (while other albums are complete strangers).

In other words I've collected material from :

every album on the 500 list by New Musical Express

Visby Mystery chapter 4 : Chess Board

still from last summer on Gotland

 

from Tomiro's Diary, still thirty years inside future

Friday 8:th of Marzipan 2052

 

Welcome back, Tomiro! Today the scary empire of Ruschina is almost over. Their face masks began to crack during month of Beforever. Last teleportation tower fell apart by its own tension. No nuclear power slipped out into our swedish colony, just melting satellites around Putingrad. We see you laugh again, only thirty years after Ruschina was planned being made. This spring people are allowed to fully re-create their true identity. Remember whether Tokyo or Gothenburg was most important?? - for the boy who's always the biggest part of you, Tomiro! Through stolen DNA-sequences they didn't succeed changing anyones deepest core memory.

 

= one more short story made of 100 words

 

 

Thursday 14:th of Marzipan 2052

 

As Ruschina finally collapse, former ukrainian people creep out from secret caves. Here in colonial Sweden some of your co-workers still feel they are ukrainian. Inside this mountain of undelivered packages, you're preparing bikes every night. No nuclear robots are needed as assistants. Last morning you saw Zemlinskyj on a blue screen in those yellow streets. If still alive, their haunted president is 74 years already. Putin would've been 100 in Octoberov, but died of vaccine overdose. We couldn't let him transform whole planet. Tomiro, you don't know whether you're older or younger than any human. Vaettirs often shift age.

Top 100 tvSeries, almost everyone I've Ever Seen

 

from Most Memorable down to those I seldom miss (but still Remember something special of), in order of how strong they have touched my heart and/or impressed my brain.

Only including longer series, of which I have experienced at least twelve short or six long episodes, often many more (in most cases on discs, seldom streaming or classic broadcasting) - so some of my favourites fall outside of this list.

No pure programs, talk shows nor reality docusoaps here, just dramatised stories or directed scenes with actors (or dolls, cartoons). No room too for christmas calendars, collection of sketches such as Monty Python, Galenskaparna, neither different short stories like Hitchcock Presents etc.

I became surprised of how many I've really have watched, and even more surprised of how many I still have left to discover (maybe never).

For each I mention the place it's mostly located to, plus the year first aired. The maker can refer to creator as well as director or manuscript writer, whoever seems most responsible.
